Well Wednesday started out on the chilly side but did warm up later in the afternoon and evening with tons of sunshine. I'm still off the pickle ball court for probably until next week despite getting some good allergy OTC medicine. I want to build back my strength before exerting myself the way I do. Oh well. I'll ride my bike today and get in some exercise plus I'll be working in the gardens.
I started the day much the usual with a well before 6 rollout to my routines that begin with some quiet time to honor my Lord, give thanks for another day and to lift several up by name for comfort and healing. All seem to be holding and now I have another to add to the list who we just learned has severe stage three breast cancer. She and her husband who has passed a couple years ago, were once great friends when our kids were going to IRCS together and we shared riding together. She and Nancy are the same ages.
I drove Nancy to her eye appointment in Largo then we stopped at the super Wal-Mart for some items before returning home to have a delicious salad for lunch. I hand watered the gardens afterwards and noticed every thing especially the new lettuce seedlings are doing well. I harvested a nice mess of collards and leafy greens for some dear sweet older friends from church and who also visits every Keswick basketball game. They have no grands in the area so they have taken the girls basketball team under their wing and that seems, besides church at SRBC to be their enjoyment in life.
I didn't do much after working in the gardens except read and watch You Tube video on Israel and a couple travel blogs. I visited the country of Turkey and found it to be interesting with lots of ancient history and ruins. Except for a couple of large cities it very rural and with vast mountains and plains and lots of small subsistence type farms. We here in America don't know how wonderful our standard of living is especially in rural areas. They have big city issues like we do with crime and violence as well.
We had a frozen pizza for supper doctored up with fresh mushrooms which was tasty and filling then we headed out to watch the girls destroy a team from Sarasota by 50 points in our regional playoffs. We now play next Monday against a very good team from down south who beat us last year and then when on to win the state championship. The first quarter wasn't good for us as we missed easy layups as well as many jump shots but eventually we got it together with our defense and went on to win big. Ava got to warm up with the team but couldn't play until the doctor releases her from her injuries. I don't believe she will make the game on Monday but if the team wins and goes to state finals she might make that game, oh well. The main thing is that she heals and get her vision back to normal.
That was about it for the day after getting back from the game as I soon hit the shower and some ALONE time on the TV before lights out at 10, LATER
